I managed to take a 40lb Stone Budda as carry on from the pre Tsang Yee river dam project (Spelling???) from designated flood villages.

I put it in my back pack and hauled it around the airport and on the plane as carry on.

I had enough sense not to put it in the overhead compartment and kept it on the floor.

Security was hell as they gave it the full explosive testing treatment and multiple security folks looked it and me over repeatedly.

In the end they begrudgingly let me through as it came up negative for anything harmful or useful for mass destruction, although my back may disagree as the backpack was not padded very well.
